PREVIEW: Glasgow 2026 field athletics stacked with established and emerging stars
Pole vaulters Nina Kennedy and Kurtis Marschall, Matthew Denny in the discus and high jumper Nicola Olyslagers are all on top of the world rankings, which confirms they come into the Games in great form.
Marschall is aiming to be the first Australian field athlete, and male in any event, to win three consecutive Commonwealth titles. Olympic champion Kennedy and World Champion medallist Denny are also defending Commonwealth champions.
Glasgow 2014 champion and former World Champion Eleanor Patterson is ranked second behind Olyslagers.
Australian long jump record holder Brooke Buschkuehl, who became a mum to Bobby only 12 months ago, is determined to turn her two Commonwealth silvers into gold. She has been in great form but almost got beaten at Nationals by 19-year-old sensation Delta Amidzovski. Coached by her mum Becky, she has jumped 6.84m this year and could cause an upset on Games debut.
Australian athletes look to kick-start Glasgow gold rush
It is down to business on the opening day of Athletics and Para-athletics action at Scotstoun Stadium, where Rhiannon Clarke, Yual Reath, Lauren Ryan and Rose Davies will lead the nation into battle as the first medals of the program go on the line in Glasgow.
Para-athletics star Clarke (WA, Danny Kevan, T38) already has Commonwealth Games silver and bronze to her name. The 23-year-old will be looking to complete the set with gold in the Women’s 100m T38, but it won’t be easy.
Clarke is ranked second with her 12.72-second personal best but has her work cut out for her to chase down Sophie Hahn (ENG) at 12.38-seconds.
